More than $2,000 in fraudulent checks written at Flint grocery stores using woman's identity

FLINT, MI -- An identity thief took their time before they wrote more than $2,000 in bad checks to area grocery stores, according to a police report.

A woman told police she lost her wallet containing her ID last July. She said recently she began receiving notices from Krogers and Meijers stating more than $2,000 worth of bad checks had been written using a fraudulent account through Chase Bank.

According to the report, the woman had an account with Chase in 2010, but had been closed years ago.
